This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during
its lifetime.

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest
known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.

<h3>Other Information</h3>
FRANCIS HAMMOND earned the following awards during her Naval career - Combat Action Ribbon - Joint Meritorious Unit Award - Navy Unit Commendation - Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation - Navy Battle "E" Ribbon (4) - Navy Expeditionary Medal - National Defense Service Medal w/ 1 star - Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal - Vietnam Service Medal w/ 2 Campaign stars - Southwest Asia Service Medal w/ 2 stars - Humanitarian Service Ribbon - Sea Service Deployment Ribbon - Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal - Kuwait Liberation Medal (Saudi Arabia) - Kuwait Liberation Medal (Kuwait).<br/><br/>
'''NAMESAKE''' - Hospitalman Francis Colton Hammond, USN (November 9 1931 - March 27 1953).<br/>HM Hammond was killed in action on March 27 1953 while serving as a platoon corpsman with the First Marine Division at Sanae-dong, Korea when that unit was subjected to a murderous barrage of hostile mortar and artillery fire. After reaching an intermediate objective during a counterattack against a heavily entrenched and numerically superior hostile force occupying ground on a bitterly contested outpost far in advance of the main line of resistance. A vicious assault by on-rushing enemy troops followed. Resolutely advancing through a veritable curtain of fire to aid his stricken comrades, Hammond, although critically wounded, valiantly continued to administer aid to the wounded throughout an exhausting four hour period. When the unit was ordered to withdraw, he skillfully directed the evacuation of casualties and remained in the area to assist the relieving hospital corpsmen until he was struck by an enemy mortar shell and fell, fatally wounded. As a result of his exceptional courage he was posthumously presented the Medal of Honor.
